Texas Tech Head Coach Mark Adams
After leading the Red Raider men’s basketball team to the NCAA Sweet 16 and a 27-10 overall record during his first year leading the program, Head Coach Mark Adams has signed a contract extension through the 2026-27 season.
Under Coach Adams this year, the Red Raiders went 18- 0 at home for the first time and reached the finals in the Big 12 Tournament for the second time in program history.
In a press release from Texas Tech, Adams said, “I’m very humbled and grateful to President Lawrence Schovanec and Athletics Director Kirby Hocutt for their continued support of myself and our program. I’m proud of the season we had last year and look forward to reaching even higher levels of success as we continue to build this program.”
Adams guided Tech to the NCAA Sweet 16, a 27-10 overall record and a 12-6 mark in Big 12 play last season during his first year leading the program. The Red Raiders went 18-0 at home for the first time in program history, earned the third seed in the Big 12 Championship tournament where they reached to the finals for the second time in program history and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the fifth time since the expansion of the national tournament.
Adams earned Associated Press Big 12 Coach of the Year and was named the 2022 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year by CollegeInsider.com. He was in his first season as the head coach after five as the associate head coach. The 27 wins were the most by a first-year Texas Tech coach and included four postseason victories.
